Hi
I Live in Scotland on a small Island where our fuel prices have reached £1.52 a L of Diesel! Hence why i am now wanting to use WVO to Fuel my Land rover Defender 300TDI (She is a thirsty Bugger!)
I have already set up one 45 gallon drum and have about 40gallons of 25micron filtered WVO.
I am planning to run on a 50:50 or as close as I can. And probably end up making Bio Diesel later this year after i see how my landrover runs on the WVO.
Here is my Plan for my set up.
The Orange lines are pipes. and the red circles on them are Valves.
Is there anything I can do to improve this set up?
when I am filling the car up do you recommend i mix the Diesel with the veggy oil before i put it in the tank or can i just pour the same amount of each into the tank and let it mix itself?
Any help would be Greatly appreciated Tom

Here is my Plan for my set up.
The Orange lines are pipes. and the red circles on them are Valves.
- I simply pour the WVO into the first tank through three filters 200Micron 50micron and 25micron.
- I will then let it sit for a week or so then I can pump it to the next tank through a 5Micron filter.
- Once in the tank i Can heat it using a heating element and a thermostat to keep it at about 100C until the water evaporates off? While this is on i can circulate the oil to help air dry it as well?
- Once I have done A test for water and i am happy I will pass it through a 1M inline filter while it is still warm into my holding tank
